Utsikter De fleste bedrifter og etater i offentlig sektor har utfordringer både innen IKT og statistisk modellering eller dataanalyse. Begge NRs fagområder er høyt prioriterte og viktige for verdiskapingen i Norge. Utsiktene for NR bedømmes derfor som gode. NR går inn i 2010 med en tilfredsstillende oppdragsportefølje totalt. Styret takker alle medarbeidere for solid innsats i Applied Research A large number of projects were carried out at the Norwegian Computing Center (NR) in Industry and commerce financed 46 % of NR s projects in 2009, while the Research Council of Norway contributed with 31 %, the public sector provided 12 %, and international projects financed 11%. The industrial customers are large companies like Statoil, in addition to a substantial number of smaller companies, other research institutes and international organisations and companies. Finance The net surplus for 2009 was 4.5 million NOK and income from operations was 1.9 million NOK. The financial position of NR is good with equity of 50.3 million NOK and an equity ratio of 64 %. Personnel NR considers the employees as its most valuable asset and the employees have good opportunities to develop their scientific skills further. At the end of 2009, NR had 75 employees including 67 researchers. NR has a close cooperation with the University of Oslo and is located at the university campus. 7 university professors work part-time at the institute. Market NR is a contract research organisation with a strong market position. The institute has one of Europe s largest groups in statistical modelling with a centre for research-based innovation. A large number of applied problems are studied; for instance financial risk, petroleum exploration, and monitoring of the climate by use of remote sensing. NR also holds a high level of expertise in ICT. Some representative projects are secure use of PC at school exams and evaluation of ICT security protocols. NR s two research areas are important within almost all sectors in society. New ICT solutions are continuously developed, leading to new challenges and opportunities. The extensive collection of data entails an increasing market for our analyses within finance, resource evaluations and remote sensing. NR has a unique competence within statistics in general, as well as selected areas within ICT. Strategic research programs granted by the Research Council of Norway and the EU 7th Framework program stimulate further efforts.
